3.16.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@xxxxxxxxx> commit ae67bf0188cbb9d1786bdfcca9e1976cb36ee327 upstream. There is no need to have both bcmgenet_xmit_single() and bcmgenet_xmit_frag() perform a free_bds decrement and a prod_index increment by one. In case one of these functions fails to map a SKB or fragment for transmit, we will return and exit bcmgenet_xmit() with an error. We can therefore safely use our local copy of nr_frags to know by how much we should decrement the number of free buffers available, and by how much the producer count must be incremented and do this in the tail of bcmgenet_xmit().
